Way to go, Fossil. You've got #1 and I've got #17 !!! Is this a great country, er whut ??
Yep, our poor American cousins have been told by the EPA-Nazis:
NO 2006 (and later) B12'S FOR YOU !!!!
Now the B12's also get the axe in Europe (and Canada) too with the end of '06 production. Technically speaking, Suzuki COULD produce an '07 B12 but they would have to stop importing it into Europe (and Canada) as of Dec. 31, 2006 and so would only get to produce them for about 3 months or so. I don't think the bean-counters at Suzuki would go along with that idea at all......
So gents, we're seeing the end of an era with the final demise of the big block Gixxer air cooled motor after 20+ years.....
When you tell your grandkids that you're so old that you rode a dinosaur to work, you won't be lying......
